Question on which airframe for Boston
Hello all - JetBlue Boston area poolie looking for thoughts on IF I get a choice of airframe which one would you choose with the following in mind…..
Biggest thing is I’d like to minimize time spent in hotel rooms. I’m good with working more days in a month, more legs, odd hours, etc. but being in base (i.e. home) at the end of flying when possible if that makes any sense? Lastly, maximizing $$$ is not a primary motivating factor for me (heresy!).
Just retired from the military so lacking on how things work. Greatly appreciate anything you can offer.

But I bet I'll be on reserve in Boston into next year. Not complaining tho... I'm thrilled to moving to BOS.

I am attempting to add recommendation letters to my application. Does the system send out an email after applying with a link on it for internal recommendations? If it doesn't then I'll include them in the actual application. Also, any word on when the window closes? Thanks so much for the help!

Not sure about the window closure but I think the norm is just after OBAP finishes. Good luck!

Thanks so much. I have asked for a couple of recommendation letters and was worried that if I didn't include them in my original application the system wouldn't let me update and add the new ones I get within a week. I guess I'll just submit the application with the ones I have and hope the system lets me add the new ones after the window closes. Thanks again!

I'd definitely recommend attaching them to you app before you submit if at all possible.
